So in my last pulse I expressed great joy over something that happened this evening. No, it wasn't that pervs. I couldn't sleep last night and I got to thinking about how a few weeks ago there was a trend on Xanga where people read blogs and recorded themselves reading blogs aloud. I thought that was so cool but I couldn't participate since my computer mounted microphone hasn't worked for some time because my cats decided to feast on the cord. Well I got to thinking about a microphone I bought years ago in hopes of being able to record my voice screaming during my mash-ups. Alas, the mic never worked on that system. So I wondered what happened to that mic. I checked my old computer that is all boxed in my attic but it wasn't there. I then went to my desk and sure enough there it was. Well I hooked it up and then immediately went to my voice recording program and said, "Test...Test...Hello...Hello" and then I pressed play. I heard my voice. It worked. I wa stunned. This device I had for nearly 8 years and left unused actually worked. I then got thinking that it would be awesome if I read a certain post. Well I loaded up the page and the program. I read a few paragraphs and then the program stopped. It only allowed me to record 60 seconds. I was livid and my dreams were shattered. Well I calmed down and investigated through this search engine called Google. I found an mp3 voice recording program. I tried it out and it worked and I could record things longer than 60 seconds. I was tingly. Well, I had shopping to do and football to watch this evening so I didn't get to make what I wanted to actually record. I decide that since tomorrow is 9/11 that I would read a short story by Mark Twain, probably Twain at his best. Well the file was almost 9 minutes long. I figured it would never upload to Xanga. I tried. IT UPLOADED! Tomorrow I will put it in a post about 9/11. Now I have unleashed a new beast upon Xanga. Look out.
I haven't been myself lately, maybe I am you.
A waitress once told me, "I'm not being rude, you're just insignificant."
I imagine saying this to a future wife every night before we go to bed: "Wake me if you're horny."
You shouldn't drink and then have sex, but damn it, it works.
Smoking and drinking go together like porn and nachos.
The numbers '172' can be found on the back of the U.S. $5 dollar bill in the bushes at the base of the Lincoln Memorial. Those were the winning Pick 3 numbers sometime. Coincidence? No, the Masons run the lottery too.There are twice as many kangaroos in Australia as there are people. The kangaroo population is estimated at about 40 million. And oddly enough, they aren't racist. I don't know what that means. I had to throw in something about race since that is what everyone else seems to talk about these days. Remember when everyone talked about burqas? Those were the good old days.
Charlie Brown's father was a barber, which explains why he was bald.
Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better. This explains why women can't see price tags and men can't hear when women ask me to take out the garbage but I was watching football and it was a crucial play so why don't you get off my back because god you are becoming a nag just like your mother yes I said that you are becoming just like your mother and hopefully you don't follow her lead and get that huge sagging ass.

I mentioned this on another person's blog. It was in response to the guy that was getting out of speeding tickets because he wore a monkey mask and the cameras could never match him with the license.
Oh it's so scathing
Yes, that is about right. I think the first time in my football watching career I plan on cheering for the Browns.
Next time, I plan on taking this scenic route.
This recession is getting out of hand. Even our superheroes are losing their jobs and homes due to foreclosure.
That taxidermist has a wicked sense of humor. The dog's hair looks as if it is being blown by the wind...how clever!
I find it empowering when women feel comfortable with their bodies and post sexy photos but there is something wrong with this picture.

Hmmmm
Nine Inch Nails concerts are the best and most intense but Trent reznor should've went with a Mac.
I would pay for that pay-per-view instead of hijacking my neighbor's signal.
Children, this is what we call post-modern feminism.
Finally one of those car ribbon stickers for me.
And because The Beatles have been everywhere lately...I was watching MTV2 the other day and saw a Beatles video for "Birthday" but in the Guitar Hero format.Good night and good luck.

Hahaha, you get can get that kind of stuff when you take a train too. It's almost always a scenic route ;D
I can see someone taking along a guitar with them if they were ever deployed to someplace like Iraq. Obviously it's a great way to pass the time. Bagpipes is kinda pushing it, but I can see that as well. It's definitely got a medieval battle cry vibe going for it. But the tuba? Really?
I mean trombone. That's definitely not a tuba. It's late. Fuck it.
ROFL I love that wife pic
you seem to have gone all out for this one.
you and your ridiculously awesome posts always make my day a little bit brighter, FYI.
That was fun.
That A-Rod headline is funny
that was funny, I like the W.I.F.E one made me laugh
Those are great!
I'm looking forward to today's reading!
cool post , made my day ;D
Aw... aw... those pictures!
Test! Test! 1 2 3... testing my mic too... hehe...
@Lithium98 -
was about to say...wtf, really? obviously a trombone.
Very funny! I'm looking forward to hearing your voice.
I'm so stoked to hear you Mat! Woot woot! I enjoyed the photos today. I was showing them to my roomate in my dorm, but luckily she's just as crazy as I am so she found it funny too. The speeding ticket is priceless. Daaaaaamn, that will be fun to explain to your husband..
Thank you for thinking about 9/11. I feel like so many people don't anymore. I bought a shirt from the Black Squirrel Festival today on campus because the proceeds went to the September 11th families fund, so really I'm giving money to my own family. (My cousin Patrick passed away at the WTC and he left behind a wife, 2 daughters and one on the way). Just saying outloud that I lost someone chokes me up. And it infuriates me when people yell about this "conspiracy" crap. Before I go off on a tangent and get angry, I will stop. Thank you again, you're a great man, truly.
i always love the pictures you put up. they are so funny. (well the comments you make about them are)
@XactiLucius -
Too bad I haven't seen any of that on the scenic train routes around here.
@Lithium98 -
I have wondered that as well. Do they allow the military to take music instruments with them into battle? Maybe they got those in Iraq. I then remembered there is a woman in my church that was in the military that served in the Army band so maybe they have some of the band over there for when dignitaries visit.

I was worried the wife photo would land me in hot water. Sadly I have seen that shirt available in a store.
@Chinese_Sait0u -
Yeah I am trying to clean out my photo folders. Plus it gives me an opportunity to be a wise-ass.
@entendezmavoix -
Aw...thank you very much. I love your writings.
@dirtbubble -
Thank you...I try to be funny at times.
@Paul_Partisan -
I think after I saw that headline was when I started calling him Gay-rod.
@SladeTheGreyFox -
Thank you
@joiwinds -
I will get to it on Saturday...sorry for the delay...it is in my audio blog under The War Prayer if you want to listen before I post it.
@hoshiko_rainboww -
Thank you...that makes me feel good that I can make people laugh.
@RestlessButterfly -
Thanks...so I hope you try to post your voice too.
@BranmacFeabhail -
One of my college roommates played trombone and he said the proper term for a trombone player was TROMBONER.
@nattata -
Well if you want a sneak peak before I post it, you can go into my audio section and it should be the most recent upload called The War Prayer. I don't sound the best and I stutter and make mistakes. Sometimes I don't think English is my first language.
@twistedmistletoe -
Glad you enjoyed and glad your roommate shares your sense of humor otherwise that may have been awkward explaining my post.
I feel bad for not doing a 9/11 post. Time got away from me today. Then History Channel aired the 102 minutes that Changed America this evening. It followed the timeline of when the first plane hit and then I forget when it ended but it was so sad watching people's faces. It reminded me of that Wilco song "Jesus Etc." which came out months before 9/11...it's eerie and you should give it a listen and then also look for the album cover.
Oh and if you want a listen before I make a post, it is in my audio blog portion under The War Prayer. And your comment about me being a great man...lump in my throat. Thank you. I don't consider myself a man...more like a 21+8 year old boy.
@NightlyDreams -
Thank you...I have thought of just posting the photos and letting people supply the jokes but that is sort of like with how The Sopranos ended. It didn't really have an ending but left it up to the audience to determine how things wrapped up.
Love your post. Many many chuckles.
they don't have the same issues with nudity in europe that they do in america. [shrug]
@curiousdwk -
Thank you...I am glad I make people laugh.
@BranmacFeabhail -
I live near a tourist town that because of the small population around here many businesses get university students from Europe and Southeast Asia to work for the summer. Well my boss put together a handbook and because I was an education major I had to teach his employees about etiquette in America. One year we had some Swedish girls working and they showed up for the meeting topless. It was a conflict for me to tell them they had to remain clothed.
@godfatherofgreenbay -
that is hysterical
Ugh, I read your newer posts first so now I have to go back and listen to your thingamabob. I don't like clicking audio for some reason. I think I have seen enough boobs for the day, thank you.
@TiRocKiinPiinK -
sorry
